The story
The Bootlegger brand (Bootlegger 21) originated within Prohibition Distillery, a project launched in Roscoe, New York in 2009. The facility — housed in a historic building in the Catskills town — developed a range of spirits (vodka, gin, bourbon) celebrating the aesthetics and narrative of the Prohibition era. In 2021 Prohibition Distillery announced a commercial rebrand to Do Good Spirits, while retaining the Bootlegger line as its commercial label.
Production philosophy
Small-batch production inspired by American tradition, with attention to local raw materials, simple ingredients and a community-minded approach (tastings and philanthropic initiatives linked to the Do Good Spirits brand).
Territory
Roscoe, Catskills, New York (United States).
Production method
For Bootlegger 21 gin the described technique uses a neutral base obtained from corn (100% corn); the botanicals are infused into the base and the blend is then redistilled in a pot still; the product is subsequently reduced to bottling strength.
Distillation
Botanicals infused into the base (corn distillate) followed by redistillation in a pot still.
